I think that framing the policy team primarily into a package
maintaining team is unwarrantedly limited: the "Debian policy" is
primarily a reference document much more than its massaging into a
package [0].
As the work of that team has quite some impact on the rest of the
developers' work [1], I feel it is perfectly normal that it is
delegated, and therefore don't understand how Lucas' latest delegation
suddenly became a constitutional problem in your eyes.

[0] How the Debian policy is shipped in the debian-policy package is
indeed "packaging work", but I see that as an almost-completely
separate activity.
[1] Policy becomes encoded into lintian checks, which then can become
FTP-master auto-rejects; making the compliance effectively
mandatory.
